Gallery: First day back

A group of familiar faces returned to Arden Street on Monday, as the pre-season training block got underway.

The first-to-four year Roos, as well as sixth-year player Jed Anderson, officially returned to training after a well-earned off-season in preperation for the 2019 season.

Notably, Ed Vickers-Willis and Will Walker were on hand after their respective seasons were cut short with knee injuries, Cameron Zurhaar was in action having recovered from his broken ankle, Sam Durdin participated after breaking his leg earlier in the year, while Declan Watson and Kyron Hayden looked good after injury interupted years.
